Money Money Come My Way

UGH. I hate talking about money. But I just found out that I need to come up with an extra $400 about by January 8th.

I mean really. January 8th! That is so close to Christmas. I have to do it though. If I want my Belle (name my girl will now be called on this blog) to go to all day kindergarten then I need to come up with this money.

She will be attending a public school but if you want to go for the all day kindergarten you have to pay extra. About $2000 extra for the school year. OUCH!

But I don't have a way for her to get to and from school on a half day schedule. As it is I will still probably need to pay the extra $2 per hour for before and after care at the schools latchkey program. Double OUCH!

My husband is not at all happy with money talk and that is always a stress between us. So I think I will hold off on breaking this news until closer to Christmas. It isn't like we are completely broke but I don't know about others but I don't normally have a spare few hundred dollars laying around burning a hole in my pocket.

AH, Lauren, I feel ya! I figured out that 56.50% of my paycheck goes to daycare.Doesn't leave a whole lot to pay bills, feed them & have Christmas.

The huge pile of "money-suck" aka the bills, sitting on the dining room table just adds to the everyday stress. I try (the operative word being TRY) not to worry too much about money. Everything usually works out in the end.But, I'll be hoping that you hit the Powerball this weekend.
